Background

The Necromancers Sect is dedicated to the Evil Sphere in its aspect as Death, however every other sect considers necromancy to be unnatural. Their use of necromancy directly accesses the Plane of the Sleepless Dead which is highly unstable and unreliable. All of their specialist invocations can be dangerous to the caster. Mistrusted even within Wolfhold many Necromancers keep their true abilities hidden. They are particularly despised by the Humact Sect of the White Retreat.

Guildmembers

Lensal Blackbone – Guildleader of the Reapers Sect is a known member of the Necromancers Sect (and was once its assistant Guildleader).

Requirements to Join

In order to join the Necromancers an Acolyte must allow both their body and spirit to be raised as an Undead so as to truly experience the aberrant way of their chosen path. Perhaps because this initiation ritual is fatal the Necromancers are the smallest Sect within the Kern Valley Alliance.
